Bolton have returned to winning ways after picking up consecutive English Championship wins. Stoke are also on back-to-back wins in this tournament ahead of their Saturday clash. Both teams are scoring plenty of goals ahead of their upcoming clash, so our Bolton Wanderers vs Stoke City match prediction is over 2.5 goals.
Stoke City picked up their fourth win in five Championship games with a 2-1 victory over Sheffield UTD. Stoke City have scored in each league game this season, netting 13 goals in eight games. Now they will be eager to leverage their attacking form to find multiple goals against the home side.
However, they will run into challenges when they go against Bolton, who are only three points behind. Bolton, who beat Norwich 4-3 in their last game, have three wins in eight matches, one less than the Potters. The Trotters also have eleven goals in eight league games, showing that their goalscoring is similar to the away side.
Bolton have an opportunity to leapfrog into the first half of the table if they can beat Stoke City on Saturday. Stoke City, eager to protect their lead, will also work to win the game. With both teams eager to get a positive result, we expect attack-focused football action that ends with three goals or more.
